She adds that while stretching the process out is challenging for everyone involved, she hopes it can at least again raise the issue of online safety and possibly prevent another tragedy.

“It generates more discussion again, and it brings it back up. And it brings Amanda’s story up, and then dinner table conversations are happening and that’s what we want to see, because it opens the door for parents to talk to their kids about safety.””

Coban was slated to face extradition to Canada in mid-June for the the B.C. teen’s case specifically, but that may now be delayed.

Todd says she can’t allow herself to think in those terms.

“It’s already been years and years and years, so personally I can’t set myself up for hoping for a date right away, because if it doesn’t happen then I’ll be devastated. So it’s better just to not focus on it 100%.”

It’s not clear yet if Coban’s trial will begin as planned tomorrow, now that he lacks representation.
